Answer:

A. The color change from blue to green happens in nature.

Explanation:

The color change is an indicator of a chemical reaction that has occurred. Although color changes are not necessarily good diagnostic tool to measure if a chemical reaction has occurred or not.

  • In this reaction, color changes is quite an effective tool
  • Chemical changes usually involves the formation of a new product from the chemical reaction.
  • Also, the steps are not easily reversible.
  • For this reaction, color change is the most appropriate signal for a chemical change.

Would nitrogen gas be a mineral if it has a chemical formula of n2?
STALIN [3.7K]

<u>Answer:</u>

Nitrogen gas be a mineral only, if it is in organic forms.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Most of the forms of organic nitrogen is not be taken by plants, with the exception in the form of small organic molecules. Also plants can promptly take the nitrogen  when it is in other forms like ammonia and nitrate.

The microorganisms  in the soil converts the organic forms of nitrogen to mineral form when they decompose organic matters and  also fresh plant residues. This type of process is called mineralisation.

What mass of Na2SO4 is needed to make 2.5L of 2.0M solution? (Na=23g; S=32g; O=16g)
zaharov [31]
The molar mass of Na₂SO₄ - 
2 x Na - 2 x23 = 46
1 x S - 1 x 32 = 32 
4 x O - 4 x 16 = 64 
total = 46 + 32 + 64 = 142 g/mol
the molarity of solution - 2.0 M 
in 1 L of solution , 2.0 moles
Therefore in 2.5 L - 2 mol/L x 2.5 L = 5 mol
then the mass of Na₂SO₄ required = 142 g/mol x 5 mol = 710 g
